Little Miss Giggles and Mr. Pout
By: Haley Parish
Here in Chuckleville, Little Miss Giggles read a riddle book. She started to smirk. Then snicker. Then snort. Little Miss Giggles loved to laugh. She laughed day and night. When Little Miss Giggles wasn’t laughing she was smiling. Little Miss Giggles lived in Chuckleville. Her next-door neighbor was Mr. Happy. In Chuckleville everybody was happy. Some people greeted everybody with jokes. Nobody from Frowntown was aloud in Chuckleville.

Frowntown was the opposite of Chuckleville. In Frowntown everybody was sad. When people greeted each other they said a cold, bitter hello. Everybody cried their selves to sleep. But there was a special person in Frowntown, Mr. Pout. Mr. Pout was always sad because he wasn’t aloud in Chuckleville. He wanted to be happy and joyous. But he wasn’t going to give up. He was going to get into Chuckleville. He had a plan.

Little Miss Giggles just woke up from a peaceful sleep when she got a phone call. It was the mayor of Frowntown, Mr. Lookstern. Little Miss Giggles answered the phone “Hello?” Little Miss Giggles uttered. “Hello, this is Mr. Lookstern, mayor of Frowntown.” Little Miss Giggles gasped. “I have got a request from a fellow that wants you to come and teach him to be happy,” declared Mr. Lookstern glumly. Little Miss Giggles wondered why a frown wanted to become a happy

Mr. Pout walked in the door and slumped down on the couch. He hoped his plan worked. He was expecting a call from a Little Miss Giggles. He wanted her to teach him how to whoop out loud so that he could live In Chuckleville. Just then he got a phone call. “Hello?” he answered. “Hello!” repeated a pleasant voice. “ You wanted me to teach you how to laugh and be happy?” she asked. “Oh yes.” He declared. “Well first things first, we need to meet at Calm Park to discuss this matter,” stated the pleasant voice.

At Calm Park, Little Miss Giggles waited for Mr. Pout. Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder. Mr. Pout was standing behind her. “Hello, are you Little Miss Giggles?” he asked. “Why of course!” she announced It was the same pleasant voice Mr. Pout had heard on the phone. “So, have you ever smiled before?” “No,” remarked Mr. Pout. “Well I guess I will have to teach you!” she observed excitedly. “First you have to think of happy thoughts!” Mr. Pout thought and thought until it hit him.







Mr. Pout’s happy thought was… that someday he would live in… Chuckleville! “Oh my gosh!” yelled Little Miss Giggles. “What?” asked Mr. Pout. “ You smiled!” she exclaimed. “Now that you got that down, you need to learn how to laugh!” she said with excitement. “I know just the trick!” at that moment she ran up to Mr. Pout and started tickling him. Mr. Pout could not help himself but to burst out laughing. Finally, Little Miss Giggles stopped and smiled. She had done it.

Now Mr. Pout lives in Chuckleville. But his name is not Mr. Pout anymore. It is Mr. Smile. Mr. Smile and Little Miss Giggles are best friends now. They both love to laugh and smile and live giggly ever after.
